Sony Moves Forward with 23 Jump Street

Deadline reports that Sony and Original Film have hired Rodney Rothman to pen the screenplay for the third film in the franchise, which stars Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. Rothman was a co-writer for 22 Jump Street.

As for director's Phil Lord and Chris Miller, it's unclear if the duo will return to helm 23 Jump Street. They helmed the first two entries in the series and also directed The LEGO Movie, which released earlier this year. Though, the report states that they are overseeing Rothman's screenplay, as well as producing 23 Jump Street with Neal Moritz, Tatum, and Hill.
